Ingredients

1/2 cupAll purpose flour (plain flour or maida)
1/2 cupwhole wheat flour
2 tablespoonsSooji fine (semolina flour)
3/4 teaspoonSalt
1/4teaspoonCarom seeds (ajwain)
2 tablespoonoil
1/3 cupwater as needed
Oilto fry

Directions

In a bowl add flour, sooji, salt, carom seeds, and oil, and mix it with fingertips to get a consistency of breadcrumb.
Add water as needed to make a firm but smooth dough and cover with damp cloth and keep it aside for ten minutes.
After 10 min again knead the dough for a minute and divide into two equal parts.
Take each part of the dough and make a flat ball shape and roll them into 9-inch circles and prick them with a fork all over the rolled dough, so the paras do not puff when frying.
Cut each of the rolled dough into about half inch wide and 2 inch long pieces.( Note: you can cut them in any desired shape).
Heat the oil in a frying pan on medium flame and the frying pan should have at least 1 ½ inch of oil.
To check if the oil is ready, put a small piece of dough in the oil and the dough should make the oil sizzle and come up slowly.
Make sure to place just enough namak paras so you can turn them easily when frying.
Fry the namak paras until both sides are light golden-brown in color and drain on tissue paper.
After namak paras come to room temperature they should become crisp.
